NEW YORK (AP) — Media mogul Rupert Murdoch says Facebook should pay fees to “trusted” news producers for their content.

Murdoch, whose companies own The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, the New York Post and other media properties, said Monday that publishers are “enhancing the value and integrity of Facebook through their news and content but are not being adequately rewarded for those services.”

Murdoch has previously criticized Google for the “theft” of news stories without payment.
